Abstract

In this investigation, a 3-D modeling of a PEM (polymer electrolyte membrane) fuel cell has been presented by considering Carbon nanotube (CNT) as the electrode and Cobalt as catalyst. Conventional fuel cells utilize graphite electrodes and platinum catalyst. Compared to mechanical and electrical properties of graphite, CNTs offer good mechanical strength and high current density. Similarly Cobalt has been considered as a cost effective counterpart to platinum. The simulation was carried out at 3 different operating temperatures (80oC, 120oCand 160oC)and the results were analyzed. The focus of this work is to design, analyze and compare the water concentration at the cathode side, using the above two catalysts.
